What career did you want when you were a kid?

Artist. It's the first thing I can remember wanting to be. Somewhere along the line, I forgot about it or was dissuaded because it's not a lucrative career. However as I get older, I think there was more wisdom in my desire than I gave credit towards. So even if it's not my "career" per se, I am still trying to live life as an artist, whatever that means.

Just be.🎈
I wanted to be a paleontologist for the longest time as a kid.
Over time it changed, and then further life happens.

QVC host. From when I was 5-8, I would watch QVC all the time and started to role play being a host. I was even coming up with random item numbers. I even taught myself how to set the VCR clock just to tape different showings on the channel.
I wanted to be a doctor, more specifically a GP, and one of the silly reasons why was that I wanted one of those already inked stamp with my name on it so I could stamp the prescriptions...
But also I wanted to heal people.
But the auto-inked stamps were a nice bonus...

That’s cool! I still watch QVC and every now and then. The cooking and furniture programs are my favorite.
At first I wanted to be a fire fighter, but then I found out they have to go long periods of time away from home for work.
Then my obsession with space began and I wanted to be an astronaut. That dream died once I realized how difficult it is to become one. The fact I ended up not being the minimum height to be an astronaut bums me out sometimes.
Around 5th grade I wanted to become an author since I got interested in writing and was told I should become a writer by all of my teachers (even my high school ones said that). I lost interest in it for a long time since I had no story ideas until fairly recently. It’s a funny coincidence that I’m actually related to an author and never knew.
My fourth career idea was to be a YouTuber (just like everyone else). I was I told I had a nice narration voice, but I knew YouTube paid terribly and was a very oversaturated market.
Finally I spent several years wanting to be a translator for Japanese media. I kept trying to learn Japanese only to finally realize that my brain just doesn't process info on new languages very well and I didn’t enjoy the process.
Now I’m just desperate for any job that will keep me as long as it isn’t customer service related.
